Item Description

In the Junkyard, the rain never stops and the war never ends. Six tribes fight over territory under orders from a distant temple that promises Nirvana to the last tribe standing, and Serph, the silent leader of the Embryon, has never questioned any of it. Then a mysterious object appears on the battlefield, a strange girl named Sera emerges from it, and the warriors around it are infected with the power to transform into demons. The catch is hunger. Their new forms demand to be fed, and the only thing on the menu is other people.

Atlus built Digital Devil Saga on the Press Turn battle system from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, and it is as sharp here as anywhere in the series. Strike an enemy's weakness or land a critical hit and you earn an extra action; hit something that resists you and turns slip away. Serph, Heat, Argilla, Gale and Cielo fight in their demon forms, learning skills on the Mantra Grid, where Macca buys a mantra and Atma, earned by devouring defeated foes, masters it. Eating is the engine of the whole game: Hunt skills devour enemies outright for extra Atma, so every battle doubles as a meal.

Kazuma Kaneko's designs give the cast a striking split identity: clean, cel-shaded soldiers on one side and ornate demon forms steeped in Hindu mythology on the other. Shoji Meguro's guitar-driven rock score gives battles a pulse unlike the usual RPG fanfare, and the writing, led by Yu Godai, turns a survival story into a meditation on identity and the soul, told through characters feeling emotions for the very first time. Watching the hardened Embryon slowly discover compassion, grief and doubt is what keeps the grim world compelling.

This is the first half of a duology, and it ends on a cliffhanger that Digital Devil Saga 2 resolves. That is the idea behind the Deluxe Box release: Atlus offered a deluxe edition whose art box carries artwork from both halves of the story. For a Megami Tensei collector it is the North American release that treats the duology as a single saga, and the game at its center is among the most distinctive RPGs Atlus made for the PlayStation 2.

About the game

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga follows Serph and his four companions as they set out for Nirvana, a land that can only be reached by the champions of Junkyard. A mysterious object awakens demonic powers within the group, allowing each member to transform into a deadly beast. As one of these characters, you can devour your enemies and absorb their powers and special abilities. Defeat opposing tribes by protecting yourself from enemy attacks, deflecting their blows, and performing linked attacks.
